South Korea accused North Korea on Thursday of firing the torpedo that sank a naval warship in March, killing 46 sailors in the country's worst military disaster since the Korean War. Pyongyang, meanwhile, continued its steadfast denials of involvement in the sinking and said it would send its own investigators to conduct a probe, while warning that any punishment against the North would spark war.
